FAMILY FUTURES MISSION
*Every Rappahannock County student will graduate with a plan for the future, financial capability and resources, and academic and personal skills to pursue that plan confidently and successfully.
*Parents, caregivers, and other adults will have access to information and tools to develop their own financial skills. STRATEGIES
FamilyFutures graduates are financially capable and personally responsible. We achieve this goal by:
โข establishing age-appropriate financial education targets for all public school students;
โข engaging the students in financial education using MyFuture savings accounts for each student, that are seeded in kindergarten and grow as the student achieves benchmarks in financial learning;
โข encouraging families to role model for their children, and achieve their own financial success, by providing information sessions, tools, and
โข counseling on financial issues, as requested, for parents and other adults. GOALS
โข Every Rappahannock public school student has a personal savings account.
โข All students complete annual tasks to earn the maximum additional deposits.
โข Financial and personal skill building activities are integrated into the school curriculum to support state mandates for college and career exploration.
โข Students learn and demonstrate the value of setting goals and weighing choices that lead to lifelong success.
โข Parents and other adults build their own financial and personal skills through home activities with their children and through workshops and individual coaching. HOW WE ACHIEVE THIS:
FamilyFutures uses private funds to seed accounts for public school kindergartners with $100 and then deposits up to $100 annually through graduation as students complete age-appropirate tasks that increase their financial knowledge and personal skills. We provide financial education for adults in workshops and in one-on-one coaching.
